Stardew Valley developer, ConcernedApe, has announced via social media that a Nintendo Switch patch addressing the game-breaking divorce crash and raccoon shop bugs is imminent. While these issues have been resolved on PC, mobile, and other consoles, the Switch update remains in development.

Since its 2016 release, Stardew Valley has seen numerous updates, consistently adding content and addressing player-reported bugs. This latest patch targets problems introduced after the major 1.6 update. In December, ConcernedApe confirmed the Switch patch was in development, and now, nearly three weeks later, its release is nearing.

ConcernedApe recently confirmed on Twitter that the Stardew Valley patch fixing the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues is "still coming," though a specific release date remains unannounced. The developer assures players it will be released as soon as possible. These issues, among others, surfaced following the launch of update 1.6, which has already received fixes on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.

Stardew Valley Switch Patch: Fixing Divorce Crash and Raccoon Shop Issues

Stardew Valley's substantial 1.6 update, released for PC in March, introduced significant new content, including expanded NPC interactions, the Meadowlands Farm, and new festivals. Visual enhancements, such as waterfalls and seasonal map variations, were also included.

However, subsequent patches inadvertently introduced new problems. The 1.6 update's November console and mobile rollout revealed several issues, including critical bugs. A swift emergency patch addressed mobile problems on November 15th, while fixes for other platforms continued.

The Stardew Valley community appreciates ConcernedApe's transparent communication and quick responses. Although the Switch patch addressing the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues isn't yet available, the developer's active efforts assure players of its impending release.
